This morning Hugo joined Melissa and I for another of our canoe rides. Hugo and I have been out before, but it had been a while and the weather was just too perfect to pass up. So we collected the paddles and pushed the boats into the river …
We stopped at “power-line road” to do a little onshore exploring …
Another chance to snap the photogenic Great Blue Heron
Here was a little pool that looked “dirty”, but was just covered in small plants (shown in the zoom)
And when we got home we had a visit from a local falcon as he was exploring the urban areas …

Looks like you had a great time. I’m going to have to get out in the canoes one of these days.
And that falcon in the parking lot is too funny. I wonder what he was looking for.
Looks like he locked his keys in the car? He sure is staring intently in one view, like I get when I see pizza!
do you know what king of falcon this is? sonia and I just did this paddle for the first time a few months ago. we’ve been checking out everglades maps and took a drive down by the glades last weekend. we’re thinking about planning a guided weeklong trip through the glades next winter…
No … I am not sure of the actual breed. Should look it up though (mark that down on my to do list) … apparently it is friendly. Has been known to hang out in the parking lot almost oblivious to humans – friend woke up the next morning with it right outside the window. Kinda cool … makes me feel more at home.
